Missing Truth?

"All beings are the truth, just as they are." - Robert Aitken

Someone once said that one of the great drawbacks of humans, and Americans in particular, is the addiction to being right.

Someone else described the difference between "absolute truth" (it's true no matter what I say) and "relative truth" (it's true as long as I say it).

What is right? What is truth? To me that's a rephrasing of "What's your opinion?" Fun to talk about, harsh to advocate.
